This Kale Salad recipe by Smitten Kitchen is so good I had to make it two days in a row. I am raving about Kale!? I guess, I am a real Brooklynite now.
(Thanks for the tip, Jason!)
Pour Mason
Pour Mason is a pour-over coffee maker attachment made specifically for Mason Jars. Love the old-school look and feel of it. Also, they’re sold out. (womp womp)
Yummly
This weekend I was sad-tweeting about how much I miss Punchfork. Luckily, Hänschen pointed me to Yummly. The mission of Yummly is to be the world’s largest, most powerful, and most helpful food site in the world. I’ll give it a shot, for sure.
Skull Eggs
This made me laugh. Skull Eggs! Brilliant!
Bnto Canning Jar
The folks at Cuppow just released a smart new product called BNTO. It separates a canning jar into two compartments, making it into a cute lunchbox that can be reconfigured for each kind of meal/snack by using different sizes of wide mouth canning jars. Two swissmiss thumbs up!
Japanese Enamel Pasta Pot
If my apartment was a pasta pot, it would look like this.
Pie with a Message
This pie with a message made me laugh. Quite ironic.

Bye Punchfork. Hello Hugspoon.
I remember the sad day Punchfork announced they are going to shut down their app and site. While I am thrilled for the team for having been acquired by Pinterest, I can’t help but feel disappointed. I am tired of falling in love with services that then get acquired and shut down. I have developed a serious case of FSP (Free-Services-Paranoia).
I remember bringing this up over lunch at work which resulted in a long, philosophical conversation, and the shortly to be lauched Hugspoon. My friends at Fictive Kin realized just how incredibly disappointed and sad I was over Punchfork going away. They decided to go on a rescue mission and build Hugspoon, which aims to save all of your Punchfork recipes.
As the shut down of Punchfork is a mere few days away, my studiomates just put up the holding page for Hugspoon which will help them save your account information. If you want to be notified when they launch, just type in your email on their current homepage. If you have a Punchfork username and want them to save the recipes you liked, you can type that in, too. They’ll do their best to save your data before Punchfork disappears. If you want to learn more about why they’re doing this, check out their /purpose.
Rainbow Spaghetti
I know for a fact that my kids would get a total kick out of these Rainbow Spaghetti.
Yes, food coloring is bad for you. I get that. Obviously, I wouldn’t feed these to my kids daily.

Heaven in a Bowl
For my birthday, my team sent a private chef to my house, making brunch for me and my friends. It was heaven! H-E-A-V-E-N! One of the dishes Cali made, was Barley Porridge. It was the best dish I ever ate for brunch.
I begged Cali to post the recipe on his blog, and he just did: Creamy Barley Porridge with Cardamom and Pomegranates by Cali Rivera. YUM!
Bamboo Mixing Bowl Set
I wouldn’t mind giving this Bamboo Mixing Bowl Set a home.
Winter Sun Cocktail
Clementine juice and a touch of lemon combine with vodka = Winter Sun Cocktail. Haven’t tried it yet myself, but will do so this weekend!

Swiss Alps Panorama Knife
Now here’s a gift for the chef that has it all: Swiss Alps Panorama Knives. From top to bottom: Berner Alps Panorama, Lake of Constance Panorama and soon to be available the Zurich Panorama. Made me smile.
(warning their shop is in German only)
Lid Sid
Lid Sid will keep the covers of your pots and pans open when they need some air, and will raise smiles whenever you use him. What a fun gift for friends that love to cook but have everything.
West Elm Market
Now look at this! West Elm Market is a completely new concept from West Elm filled with clever, hard-working, time-saving, clutter-busting solutions for everyday living. The first store, West Elm Market Brooklyn, will open October 25th in DUMBO. Yay to this!
Love that they have a Made in the USA category.
Happy Food Day
Team Tattly is celebrating Food Day by wearing our Vegetable Tattly. Food Day is a nationwide celebration and a movement for healthy, affordable, and sustainable food.
Farmigo
It makes me happy when I discover web-based tools that help connect like-minded people, in this case, people that care about local produce with farmers. Farmigo is taking CSAs to the next level. The Farmigo online food network provides consumers with an easy way to subscribe to a local farm and get fresh food delivered to a convenient pick up location.
I just learned that Brooklyn Roasting across the street from our office will be one of the drop-off locations. Shopping local, supporting local farmers has never been easier. And, how cute is the name Farmigo?
Modern Welsh Lovespoon
Now these Modern Welsh Lovespoons make for a fantastic gift for newlyweds or newly engageed folks, no?
